Fast home internet in
Columbia, MO

U-wifi Home Unlimited is $55 a month anywhere we're live in Columbia, whether you're in Downtown Columbia, East Campus Neighborhood or out by North Village Arts District. The next-gen gateway, two-day shipping and your first 30 days are free, and there's no contract. Or pay nothing at all with FreeU: watch ads you choose in the U-wifi app and earn credit toward your bill.

Every U-wifi customer in Columbia can switch on FreeU inside the U-wifi app. Our Choice Advertising model lets you pick the ads you see, and watching them earns credit against your monthly service. Watch enough and the $55 is covered. Keep watching past that and you earn U-Bonus points toward merchandise in the U-store. Same gateway, same unlimited data, same speeds.

Wired speeds in Columbia vary widely by street and neighborhood, especially in older areas near Downtown Columbia and around the University of Missouri. Tower-based speeds depend on your distance from the nearest 5G site and which carrier signal is strongest at your address. U-wifi doesn't tie you to one network. Our gateway picks the strongest 5G signal at your address across the major national carriers and switches if a better one appears, so you get the best speed available in your part of Columbia at any given hour. For the best signal, put the gateway near a window on the highest floor, facing the nearest tower.

Columbia sits in the path of spring tornado outbreaks and winter ice storms that can knock out power and damage infrastructure. Because U-wifi runs on multiple carrier networks instead of a single cable line, if one tower goes down your gateway shifts to the next available signal. During a major weather event, service depends on carrier tower power and backup systems, but you're not waiting on a single provider to send a repair truck.

Yes. High-density buildings like Frederick Apartments and Belvedere Apartments get strong coverage when you place the gateway near a window on the side facing the nearest tower. The gateway plugs into any outlet and works best near a window. No drilling, no antennas on the roof and nothing to remove when you move out. The gateway's wifi covers a typical 2,500 square foot home and supports up to 256 devices, so a one-bedroom or a shared house is fine.

Enter your Columbia address to confirm coverage, order, and the gateway arrives within two days. Plug it in, find the U-wifi network on your phone or laptop, and enter the password printed on the bottom of the gateway. That's the whole install. No technician, no appointment window, and your first 30 days are a free trial.

Pack the gateway, plug it in at the new address and connect as usual. Then sign in to your U-wifi account and update your address. Nothing to return, nothing to reschedule, and the price stays the same.

U-wifi is live across Columbia and in Jefferson City, O'Fallon and St. Peters. Enter your address to confirm availability at your home. If you're on the edge of coverage, the gateway also supports an external antenna for weaker 5G areas.
